The movie, which stars Robert Pattinson in the lead role, is supposed to be released June 25, 2021. It’s unclear if halting production will cause the film to be pushed back.
Is there anything coronavirus can’t stop at this point? First, it stole all of our sports from us, and now it’s stopping major movies from filming.
This is truly getting 100% out of control. If they aren’t able to film for several months because of coronavirus, then there’s no way the movie comes out on time.

It’s just not possible to turn the cameras off for an extended period of time and expect the film to meet its scheduled release date.
You should just prepare yourself for “The Batman” to get its release pushed back because that’s almost certainly going to happen at this point.

Hopefully, the coronavirus hysteria comes to an end sooner than later because it’s causing way too many issues.
